This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

This is the most correct statement that has ever been stated.

How Royston knows some of that stuff maybe suspect, but he is also a character, and will react as that character will, just like the rest of them will.
If that's how Capt Wombat says Royston would react, then so be it.
Students will just know in the future not to ask him to mediate conflicts.

We didn't ask
He "volonteered" and then teleported us there
Had he not done so I'd have had them find Zix who is right next door

So? In character you had no reason to believe he was gonna suck at officiating a duel. You guys accepted it, he did ask you in character.
Now you know in character too.
Male sorcerer 16 wilder (leader/telepath) 3 elocater 2, thrallherd 1, pyrokineticist 10.
He does any "punishment" I'm porting out.
You'd think a combat teacher would be a better sport about this
The kitsune guy, his restrictions made sense, and he was upfront about them

Dragonborn3 wrote: Why exactly are they being punished for something that was going to be handled safely in the sim rooms regardless of what their motivations were? When Ace stated what his intent was and how we got to where a duel was needed, then that changes things most of all for Staff. Its not about being a "good sport" its about doing what is needed for the students well being.
Dragonborn3 wrote: I'd also love to know how Royston 'suspected anything remotely like what Ace went through, since I bet he wasn't there for any of it. He did not know the specifics he only suspected, remember the events in the dinning hall with aces and his girl friend, also once Ace said what was going on with him, 2+2=4.
I feel that Roystons actions where right given other actions and information, most of all from Ace, come on its stopped being mediating a conflict when Ace said it would be ok if he was beaten up so he could feel better. That is very unhealthy and no way a Staff member would let it go on.

Just curious. :)
The other evening nurse is gone by this hour, in case, Edward. I'm fairly sure there's just a few other staff in case.
She feel asleep in Morrivan's room I think I posted that.
Well, guys, if you still want to fight just leave school grounds. Just remember that stuff outside the sim rooms is real, and will have real consequences, like destroyed magic items and death.
I think that level of PvP DB3 would have to be Oked by Lynora.

Dave'll bring a healer allong, Or get any of the dozens of teachers who would allow it, zix for example,

Ok I'm out of this now, do as you like, any teacher will have a problem given Aces stated aim.

What can I say, Gennosuke is a bushido kind of guy.

Now that that's handeled I can spare the attention required to advance with Arthur so I can get Carl out of the (water) closet
Female awww, but that would be telling unknown
I thought the detention was a bit much, but otherwise Royston was within his rights, IC, to end the duel. I am having Nanami question the detention IC to address that. Either way, I don't think Royston while be asked to supervise more duels in the future. :P

Professor Royston wrote: Ok I'm out of this now, do as you like, any teacher will have a problem given Aces stated aim. I actually have a bit of a problem with this statement as it's a big assumption. In fact, there are a number of teachers who would allow it. They simply have different philosophies than Royston does. Now, they would also likely refer Ace to the psychologist and insist he start taking meditation classes, but they would allow the fight within the SIM environment where no real harm can be done.

The taking out of aggressions in a controlled environment is a tried and true psychological tool, is it not? I think it's called catharsis?

Hew and Lang did that,we used the SIM room to create enemies so we could release some frustrations via combat, and we found a way to work together as a team in as well.

Appreciate the reminder. Julie would have woken up to a blanket draped over her.

The Magic-al one wins. I fail to see how a duel to vent is at all unhealthy. Ace and David have a history and all that Ace said before the duel was 100% true. The only reason Ace cast the anti-magic field is he's hoping to draw David in a bout of fisticuffs, more or less.
I can't read or post in game right now, but I felt the need to explain some here. Could this have been handled a bit differently, with Ace requesting a solo SIM? Sure, but this way had much better RP.
There is no sadistic/masochistic mindset here, just a teenager looking to seriously blow of some steam against somebody he dislikes, but also respects as a competent opponent.
Omigosh I didn't realize Transistor came out two days ago!
New game from the makers of Bastion.
...
I'll post as much as possible before it's finished downloading.

Lemme know if it's any good.
Bastion was very innovative and entertaining.
Loved that narrator's voice.
Yeah, Bastion is my favourite game since FFXII. I can find very few flaws with that game. It's very powerful, and I have high hopes for Transistor :D

Adhesives is fancy for glue.

tanglefoot bags, are also a thing, and my comment about water still stands

And what are tanglefoot bags made of?
Fancy glue. :P
Imagine if 'love' were an adhesive.
Just based on words, that universal solvent would break the bonds!
Pity additions aren't adhesives. Crack cure, coming up!
So here's a fun question: is Ace's ability to change hs shape suppressed by hugs own AMF?
Male. Vaguely humanoid Ninja 3/Bard 1/Ranger 2/Scholar 1
almost certainly, better question, does he revert under such a situation
"hugs own AMF"?
Lost me there.

You guys do know that Ace's default appearance is actually an insanely intricate and complex disguise, as per when he first showed up and David tried to True See his real form, right? I just don't make the disguise check every morning because 1) that would be tedious 2) new days happen way too far apart and its hard to remember and 3) Most people can't beat his disguise check anyways.

Most people. Guess who's coming to the lunchroom.
